WOMEN'S
Dries Van Noten
The women's collections treat colour as something to be argued with rather than matched. A print is rarely deployed alone: it is put next to a second pattern at a different scale, or grounded by a shade that has no business working and does. Stripes get redrawn until the rhythm is off; a motif is scaled up until it stops reading as decoration and starts reading as structure.
Fabric decides the rest. The house moves between crisp naturals and fine technical knits inside a single season, and the shape follows whatever the cloth wants to do — a sheer mesh worn as a layer that changes the colour of everything beneath it, a firmer ground left to hang straight. It is a wardrobe that rewards mixing, and one where a piece earns its place by what it does next to other things rather than by finishing a look on its own.
